Swan Lake – Main Theme

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

With the Black Swan movie, Swan Lake was more about a nightmare than a tragedy. Surely, there is an evil sorcerer and a curse, but that’s pretty standard fare for Romantic-era ballets. When Prince Seigfried falls for Rothbart’s trick and betrays Odette, it’s more sad than terrifying. But Black Swan gives to this song a hint of horror to make you shiver!
